Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
What is RPL?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that looks at the skills, knowledge, and experience you’ve gained in your life, no matter where or how you learned them. This could be from school, work, volunteering, certifications, or even hobbies and personal projects. If what you already know matches the requirements of a course or program, RPL can give you credit for it. This means you might not have to repeat learning things you already know, helping you finish your studies or training faster and at a lower cost. In short, RPL values what you’ve already learned and helps you move forward more easily.
